The role of behavioural factors and opportunity costs in farmers' participation in voluntary agri‐environmental schemes: A systematic review
Agri‐environmental schemes (AESs) are increasingly implemented to promote the adoption
of environmentally friendly practices by farmers. We use a systematic review to explore the …

Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition
Global change, especially land‐use intensification, affects human well‐being by impacting
the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (multifunctionality). However, whether …

Land-use intensification causes multitrophic homogenization of grassland communities
MM Gossner, TM Lewinsohn, T Kahl, F Grassein… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss,. Alongside reductions in local
species diversity, biotic homogenization at larger spatial scales is of great concern for …

Contrasting responses of above-and belowground diversity to multiple components of land-use intensity
Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

The results of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments are realistic
A large body of research shows that biodiversity loss can reduce ecosystem functioning.
However, much of the evidence for this relationship is drawn from biodiversity–ecosystem …

Light asymmetry explains the effect of nutrient enrichment on grassland diversity
N DeMalach, E Zaady, R Kadmon - Ecology Letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
One of the most ubiquitous patterns in plant ecology is species loss following nutrient
enrichment. A common explanation for this universal pattern is an increase in the size …

Agricultural practices and biodiversity: Conservation policies for semi-natural grasslands in Europe
Europe's semi-natural grasslands support notably high levels of temperate biodiversity
across multiple taxonomic groups. However, these ecosystems face unique conservation …

Differential mechanisms drive species loss under artificial shade and fertilization in the alpine meadow of the Tibetan Plateau
J Li, LS Charles, Z Yang, G Du, S Fu - Frontiers in plant science, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Fertilization is an effective management strategy to promote community biomass but can
simultaneously reduce species diversity in many grassland systems. Shifts in competition for …

Land use imperils plant and animal community stability through changes in asynchrony rather than diversity
Human land use may detrimentally affect biodiversity, yet long-term stability of species
communities is vital for maintaining ecosystem functioning. Community stability can be …
